Was this figure ever released? I never saw it before... If it was never released I'd say that now it's a good time as 25th anniversary "reissue"

Thankful it was not produced. Unlike the Beast Wars Neo Unicron which should have been:

I wonder why there's no Beast Wars II Unicron in that display.

Pretty neat! At least it was a FULL planet and not half a planet.

I remember this was sold to a collector for 11,000 many years ago.
I heard also there are a few made.

My god, it's full of stars.
Anyway, I have seen many pictures of that toy but have never, ever seen a size comparison. Armada Unicron was much bigger than I thought he would be an this guy dwarfs him. Amazing.
I second that, if properly coloured (obviously). Would be great to have a toy I have wanted since 1986. Failing that, a proper G1 style Unicron would suffice.

Hasbro its time to release the beast. You didnt give it to us in the 80s so its time to give it to us. Theres still a universe line (supposedly) and there a more G1 reissues on the horizon so you have no excuse.

Wow, for the first time ever, a display of the unproduced G1 Unicron that actually gives us some idea of the proper scale of it, I am impressed.
Granted by today's standards that thing is an ugly brick, but what a magnificent piece of Transformers history. What's next? Digging up the old Transtech protos?

and then it never happened.

BEHOLD UNICRON......Devourer of PIE!
For a G1 toy ol' Uni ain't bad, but a little too round. It does tower of Armada Unicron though, and that's pretty sweet.

It looks to be in remarkably good shape for a 23 year old prototype. Its definitely been cared for. Scary thing is, I would so plunk down the cash for a reissue of it. Any molds or such are probably long gone??

If there is a Hasbro Q&A session, they should tell them to pull that sucker out and pull out a Fortress Maximus to show sizes. I too think Hasbro has something up their sleeve. I wouldn't be surprised if those were just made for Botcon and that they might make an announcement of releasing him just for a G1 celebration or something. I would pay $100 for it
